FYI - I'm trying to confirm this with other sources. From everything I had heard he had just agreed to visit Detroit. I'd like to hear this from Clayton himself as he is usually accurate. I couldn't find this on the ESPN site yet...

Pablo, How'd you find that one, I havent seen it anywhere else? Seems like a good move to me. I didnt think that Denver would let him go. Any word on what this contract will look like? Jax wanted a high pick for DD so this probably works out better for us, Kennedy is younger too. Might change out priorities some but if there is a good S prospect in RD 2-3 I would still take one. Can now focus on DE vs T vs TE in round 1.

I hope that it is true. He would be in the prime of his career whereas DD's speed might fall off soon at his age. It would make 3/4 of our secondary (if they are healthy) in the prime of their careers and under contract long-term. I agree that it would free us up in the draft a lot too. I still would like to see Holt on the field instead of Marion though. I don't want to see Walker on the field except for special teams.

March 2, 2005Safety first for LionsThe Lions came out of the box by convincing Broncos safety Kenoy Kennedy to come to Detroit. The Lions are trying to get younger and stronger at the safety position. Kennedy is perhaps the top free agent at that position available. The Lions have also been exploring the possibility of trying to make a trade for Jaguars safety Donovin Darius.

...Walker is back.

**Heeding the Lions' call for a productive veteran defender, safety Bracy Walker officially re-signed with the club on Tuesday.

It's now close to 10:00 pm and I still don't see a report of Kennedy's signing on ESPN. I don't think he signed, he just agreed to visit.

your right...we are looking all over for anything. Claytons text seemed on one hand to suggest he was "here" but he meant locationally

But I will credit the Lions in the past with getting guys in...and them signing if they really like em.

It's on a couple of sites now, but I'm assuming it is all based on the same original story. I didn't catch anything about it on NFL Total Access tonight (but I didn't see it all). They did say that Darius went to Jags officials saying how pissed he was that they tagged him for the third year in a row and he wont play for them next season. He said he wants to play for Detroit....

I love FA!

I have not seen anything about it except that he is coming on the 7th

According to reports, the Detroit Lions have signed Kennedy. (Updated 03/03/2005).

And no bsand2053, your ears (or eyes in this case) are not deceiving you. Darius thinks Detroit is a great fit for him, I think he also thinks he can shake the "not so great in coverage" label in Detroit as well. Perhaps Fernando Bryant has something to do with all of this.

ESPN Insider says:

Quote:

Mar. 3 - There appears to be a growing market for Kenoy Kennedy, which doesn't help the cap-constrained Broncos' chances of re-signing the five-year safety. Although Kennedy has expressed interest in remaining in Denver, he plans to explore all options. According to multiple reports, Kennedy will visit the Lions this weekend. The Jets and Dolphins are also interested.

Kennoy Kennedy has not reached an agreement with the Lions, despite John Clayton's report yesterday.He is expected to visit with the team this weekend. Denver may bid up to keep him. Mar. 3 - 2:57 pm et
